We have run a number of simulations investigating the limitations of noiseless point spread deconvolution with the VLA. On-source errors of more than .01 and off-source dynamic ranges of less than 15,000 were found for some parameters typical of high precision observations. Deconvolution errors were not confined to the support of the source, and limit the dynamic range in at least one VLA observation.
